Common Interview and Exam Questions on Vortex Flow Meters

Flow meter /

1. Basic Principle Vortex flow meters operate based on the Kármán Vortex Street principle. When a fluid flows past a bluff body (called a vortex shedder), alternating vortices are formed downstream, and the frequency of these vortices is proportional to the fluid velocity. 2. Instrument Coefficient (K Factor) The K factor, or instrument constant, indicates
